The days are getting shorter and colder, perfect to get in a Christmas spirit!
BLCCJ EVENTS:
In that regard we are happy to announce that BLCCJ is supporting the upcoming Belgian Beer Weekend Christmas edition in Shinjuku, the first indoor winter edition of BBW!
On Thursday 9 December we will be there from 18:00 for our next beer gathering. All BLCCJ members will get 2 tokens for free!
To stay in the beer spirit:
don’t forget to sign up for our Belgian Beer and Food Academy in Osaka, on Thursday 2 December @ Hilton Osaka.
So far about 60 people signed up, the Belgian Ambassador and several BLCCJ Board members will be joining.
And another important date:
the BLCCJ Annual General Meeting will take place on Wednesday 15 December, from 18:30 @ Natixis office, followed by dinner @ Bistro Buzz.
This year we will be presenting a Constitution revision and a Board election will be held, so your attendance (or proxy) will be very important to us!
More details will go out next week.
